How do I scan a vinyl record with my phone?

Open Vinyl Portfolio, tap the camera and point it at the record. You can scan four things:

CoverVisual scanning recognizes the sleeve art, including records with no barcode.
BarcodeThe fastest match for anything pressed since the 1980s.
Catalog #Printed on the spine, the label or the back, it narrows an album down to a pressing.
LabelUseful for older records and promos where the sleeve is generic.

Can a scanner tell which pressing I have?

A scan finds the album first. A barcode or catalog number usually narrows it to a pressing; a cover scan shows the pressings that share that art so you can pick yours. Each option comes with its label, year, country, catalog number and variant details to check against your copy. How to identify your pressing

What happens after a scan?

Pick your pressing and the record is added with its cover art, its variant drawn as the disc you own, and an estimated value for its condition. Set the condition and what you paid, and it joins your collection's value chart. How record values work

Does it work without a barcode?

Yes. Records pressed before barcodes, and many limited editions, are found by cover, label or catalog number. You can also search by artist and title and pick the pressing from the list.
